Incidents
From December 2020 to August 2021, at least 6 visitors were injured while riding the Do-Dodonpa roller coaster. This led to the coaster's eventual closure in 2024. On 28 February 2025, a park employee was fatally injured after being crushed between one of Eejanaika's trains and its track. Concerns were raised by media that the train was unintentionally moved during the maintenance and, consequently, about lapses in mandatory safety requirements, including to disconnect power when performing maintenance on rides.
In popular culture
In the 1985 Hong Kong comedy action film My Lucky Stars, starring Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, the criminal gang's headquarters are underneath Fuji-Q Highland. In 2006, on the ninth season of the American reality game show The Amazing Race, the final 3 teams visited Fuji-Q Highland and rode Tondemina, Dodonpa and Fujiyama while looking for a clue to their next destination.
